    leaking gas from 2nd carb

    '80 850g

    I have individual pods.

    after running for a bit gas will start comin out of 2nd carb air pod, but doesn't look like it's coming from anywhere else. when i turn off the bike it stops. any idea what it is?

          Float valve is leaking by. That's the only way that can happen.

            Hi,

            Have a look at this little article I found on some guy's website.
